For me the 16750 wins. Maybe my impression will change after I see the BLRO in person.

Let's see some CHNR pics.

Great to see thanks for the photos! Did you happen to get any shots of the RG CHNR and/or try it on?

Interesting. I did not feel that way. Quite the opposite. I liked the new BLRO and thought the RG GMTs were uninteresting. No interest in those GMTs.

That said, I feel no need to add the new Pepsi when I have a 16750. I’ll stick with vintage. But I if I didn’t have the 5 digit, I’d be all all over this new one.

I did. I think I'll start a new thread with all the new Basel 2018 releases. Probably not until tomorrow though.

Fantastic pic, thanks!

Actually makes me appreciate the new one more than I have been (your watch being great goes without saying).

I loved the Everose GMT. Unfortunately the wife didn’t. I would have taken pics, but there were too many people. And one cute doggie

The new one says the obligatory 10:11 and I wonder if it even has a movement inside... was it very light?

Great, there needs to be a oyster bracelet option. The insert colors look identical to the white gold GMT, love it or hate it.

this watch definitely looks better when viewed from a normal distance. There is a lot going on and these close up wrist shots exaggerate everything.

Bezel, bracelet etc look great in this pic

Most likely a display model - but Rolex place a weight inside so the overall feel is identcal to the "real" ones

Agreed gents

In the first pics I'm thinking "meh..." but in the body shot it looks fantastic
